OF BRONX, NEW YORK SOAPING DEVICE Application filed December 31, 1927. Serial No. 243,946.

My invention relates to soaping devices and refers particularly to soaping devices adapted to deliver a flow of either fresh water or soap solution as desired.

The object of my invention is a device capable of attachment to a water faucet whereby the movement of the delivering tube willV cause the delivering of either fresh water or soap solution.

My device comprises a water chamber' and a soap chamber anda delivering tube independent of both chambers and extending` outwardly ofthe device at its delivering end, a movement of the delivering tube forming either an uninterrupted conduit from the water chamber for the delivery of fresh water externally of the device, or a connection between the water chamber and the soap chamber whereby the delivering tube will deliver water to the soap chamber, extract soap solution therefrom and deliver the soap solution through the delivering tube externally of the device.

The simplicity of construction, ease of opf eration and effectiveness of results of my device will be evident upon a consideration of my specification and its accompanying drawings.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating modifications of the device of my invention, similar parts are designated-'by similar numerals.

Fi ure 1 is a. vertical section of one form of my c evice in fresh water delivering position- Figure 2 is a fragmental view of Figure 1 in soap delivering position.

Figure 3 is a front view of one form of delivering device.

The particular form of the device of my invention shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, comprises a water chamber having the cylindrical side and the concave bottom 11, the lower portion of the side 10 being threaded. EX- tending inwardly from the top portion of the side 10 Yand supported by the knurled band l2 is a rubber nozzle 13, having the opening 14 capable of placement over a faucet (not shown).

A dependent soap chamber has the cylindrical side 15 extending into the bottom member 16, and carrying the lnurled band 17. The upper portion of the side 15 has the shoulder 18 and is threaded to mesh with the threads of the water chamber. A 'gasket 19 forms a water tight joint between theV water chamber and the soap chamber.

The water chamber bottom llhas al central opening, the periphery of which is eX- tended downwardly into the cylindrical bushing, or split sleeve 20 having an extended annular flange 2l capable of fitment with the extended annularflange 28 of the tube 23, thus holding the tube 23 in its upward position.

The soap chamber bottom 16 hasan opening in alignment with the water chamber bottom opening and carries the rubber bushing 22.

Slidable within the openings of the water chamber bottom and thesoap chamber bottom is a tube 23, open at both ends, having opposed openings, as 24, in the upper portion, carrying the flange stop member 25 and 26.

The lower end of the tube 23 carries a plu- 7 rality of rings 29, 29 capable of retaining the rubber hose 30, the free end of which carries the removable nozzle 31 having the slit opening 32. Various nozzles may be used for specific purposes. Y Y The operation of the device is as follows A water faucet is inserted within the opening 14 of the rubber nozzle 13. When the device is in the position shown in Figure 1, the openings 24, 24 of the tube 23 are closed by thev sleeve 20 and, hence, the water will iiow directly from the water chamber through the tubes 23 and 30 thus supplying fresh water. When the tube is drawn downwardly into the position'shown in Figure 2, the openings 24, 24 of the tube 23 will connect the tube with the soap chamber and the water will pass through the water. chamber, the upper portion of the tube 23 and through the ,openings 24, 24, into the soap chamber containing soap particles, and will thus form a soap solution which will pass through the openings 24, 24 into the tube 23 and outwardly through the tube thusfurnishing soap solution.

1 It willthus be seen that either fresh water or soap solution can be obtained by the vertical movement of the tube 23.

In the modification shown in Figure 4, the rubber nozzle 13 is connected to the sleeve 33 by means of the band 34, the nozzle 13 thus forming the water chamber.

It will thus be seen that my device comprises a water chamber and a soap chamber separat-ed by an imperforate wall, the delivering of fresh water or soap solution being controlled and determined by the movement of a tube passing from the water chamber through the soap chamber.

It will be noted that when the tube connects the water chamber with the soap chamber, the same openings in the tube deliver water into the soap chamber and extract soap solution therefrom.

My device, therefore, presents an inexpensive and eHective means whereby fresh water and soap solution may be readily obtained from afresh water supply.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number and arrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for clearly describing the device of' my invention.

That I claim is 1. In a soaping device, in combination, a lower casing forming an interior soap chamber, an upper casing fixedly attached to said lower casing forming a water chamber having an opening` into said soap chamber, said two casings being non-revoluble with respect to each other, a downwardly extended wall within said upper casing capable of attachment to a water supply faucet, a vertically movable delivering tube extending from the water chamber through the soap chamber and thence outwardly through the bottom of said lower casing and means whereby a vertical movement imparted to said tube externally of the lower casing will selectively allow the delivering of fresh water or soapy water through said delivering tube externally of said lower casing.

2. In a Soaping device, in combination, a lower casing forming an interior soap chainber, an upper casing fixedly attached to said lower casing forming a water chamber having an opening into said soap chamber, said two casings being non-revoluble with respect to each other, a downwardly extended wall within said upper casing capable of attachment to a water supply faucet, a vertically movable delivering tube extending from the water chamber through the soap chamber and thenceoutwardly through the bottom of said lower casing and having a plurality of openings therein, means whereby a vert-ical movement imparted to said tube externally of the lower casing will selectively connect said water chamber with said soap chamber through said openings allowing the delivery of soap solution through said tube externally of the lower casing and will close said openings allowing the delivery of fresh water through said tube exterially of the lower casing.

3. In a Soaping device, in combination, a lower casing forming an interior soap charnber, an upper casing fixedly attached to said lower casing forming a water chamber having an opening into said soap chamber, said two casings being non-revoluble with respect to each other, a downwardly extended wall within said upper casing capable of attachment to a water supply faucet, a vertically movable delivering tube extending from the water chamber through the soap chamber and thence outwardly through the bottom of said lower casing and having a plurality of openings therein, means whereby a vertical movement imparted to said tube externally of the lower casing will selectively connect said water chamber with said soap chamber through said openings allowing the delivery of soap solution through said tube externally of the lower casing and will close said openings allowing the delivery of fresh water through said tube externally of the lower casing and means for limiting the vertical movements of said tube.
